Hirosaki Castle
Hirosaki-jo was built in the 16th year of Keicho era (1611) by Nobuhira Tsugaru, the master of Tsugaru Han. The distinctive feature is that the inner citadel (Honmaru) is surrounded by dry stone and the remaining parts are surrounded by earthwork fortification. Tsugaru Han became independent from the Nanbu clan by force and built a bigger castle than its scale to prepare for the Nanbu clan's invasion. |
